I admit I didn't understand the relevant difference between the old and
the new binding yet. (The driver currently doesn't support the s4,
right?) Is it possible to detect if the dt uses the old or the new
binding? If yes, I suggest to drop the old one from the binding and only
keep it in the driver for legacy systems.

The expectation is that this list contains all compatibles that are not
included in the "historic" list above, right? Then maybe use "else:"
instead of another explicit list?
